Adreann's Royal Day

So, when I posted my Royal Weddings back in April Adreann wondered why she was not included.  I told Adreann, "Hey, you are not even married!"

June 11 my niece, Adreann, married her best friend, Darren.  She became a "Peters".  I knew she would marry him the very first time I met him ... they were soul mates to the very definition of the word! (soul mate:  ~ noun  ~ a person with whom one has a strong affinity). 

Here she is:

Another Royal Wedding come and gone!

Lately on TV they have been showing clips of people thanking those serving overseas, particularly Afghanistan, for keeping us safe.  I thought I would take a minute and thank my grandfather, Hypolite A. Hidalgo.  He served in France at Chateau Thierry (c. 1917-1918) during WWI.

Thank you Papa!
